Peace Pagoda (Shanti Stupa):- The Pagoda was

offers a grea place to see the mountain and the sunset over Pokhara along
the people doing boating on Phew Lake. It can be accessed by hiring a boat
across the lake and following a pretty good track upward by foot through
the forest but we should have to watch out for leeches during the monsoon.
The road passes through Devi’s Fall
turning right at the end of Chhorepatan and track upward by foot.
